APA has not issued specific guidelines for citing images generated by AI tools. When using AI-generated images for coursework, follow the general APA guidelines for citing audiovisual media, and include a note with the image indicating which AI tool was used as well as the prompt that was used to create the image.
For more information and examples, see the guide to citing AI-generated images in APA style from McMaster University.
